Badges

tier 2 — classes

.badge is a neutral pill. The semantic modifiers carry the same meaning as the button families; the three categorical hues carry none at all.

Semantic

Use these when the colour means something. They follow the colour-blind toggle.

Neutral Approved Pending Failed Informational Secret

<span class="badge">Neutral</span>
<span class="badge badge-go">Approved</span>
<span class="badge badge-warn">Pending</span>
<span class="badge badge-danger">Failed</span>
<span class="badge badge-info">Informational</span>
<span class="badge badge-secret">Secret</span>

Three sizes

A badge is a label, not a target, so its sizes are a type scale rather than the control heights — .badge-lg is 12px text, not a 36px pill.

badge-sm default badge-lg

In a line of text a badge-sm does not push the line taller,

Beside a heading a badge-lg holds its own.

<div class="sedna-col sedna-gap-2">
    <div class="sedna-row">
        <span class="badge badge-sm">badge-sm</span>
        <span class="badge">default</span>
        <span class="badge badge-lg">badge-lg</span>
    </div>
    <div class="sedna-row sedna-baseline">
        <span>In a line of text a <span class="badge badge-sm badge-go">badge-sm</span> does not push the line taller,</span>
    </div>
    <div class="sedna-row sedna-baseline">
        <span class="text-lg">Beside a heading a <span class="badge badge-lg badge-warn">badge-lg</span> holds its own.</span>
    </div>
</div>

Categorical

For distinguishing categories that have no ranking — a type, a queue, a source. Reach for these only after the semantic set, and never to imply good or bad.

<span class="badge badge-cyan">Login</span>
<span class="badge badge-orange">Job</span>
<span class="badge badge-teal">API</span>

Severity — an ordered scale

For a scale whose steps rank: an incident priority P1–P5, a CVSS band, a triage tier. The label has to say the rank — “P2”, “High”, “3 of 5” — because a bare coloured pill is a colour, not a position; Progress takes the same ramp through .progress-bar--sev-N.

P1 · Critical P2 · High P3 · Moderate P4 · Low P5 · Planning

<span class="badge badge-sev-1">P1 · Critical</span>
<span class="badge badge-sev-2">P2 · High</span>
<span class="badge badge-sev-3">P3 · Moderate</span>
<span class="badge badge-sev-4">P4 · Low</span>
<span class="badge badge-sev-5">P5 · Planning</span>

With an icon

Sent 12 min Breached

<span class="badge badge-go"><i class="ri-check-line"></i> Sent</span>
<span class="badge badge-warn"><i class="ri-time-line"></i> 12 min</span>
<span class="badge badge-danger"><i class="ri-alert-line"></i> Breached</span>
